From Munnar in Kerala to Mumbai—an artist takes conventional stereotypes—breaks them and finds ways of creating permutations and combinations that create a synergy of Pollockian canvasses filled with conversations about the complexities of life's multiple frameworks. You get the cramped in convolutions of the brilliant artist P R Satheesh who was discovered by Kochi Biennale founder Bose Krishnamachari. Satheesh's show Frenetic opens at Galerie Mirchandani and Steinruecke Mumbai on October 23, 2019, and it will charm art lovers into its matrix of meanderings.
Nature as Inspiration
A native of the mountainous region of Munnar in Kerala, experiencing the stark realities of farmland conflict and stirring wilderness, P.R. Satheesh views his relationship with nature and its creatures as the primary inspiration for his work. His family's decision to move to a cardamom plantation during his childhood, away from civilisation and familiar terrain, produced in him a bond with these surroundings.
